MARTINGuitar Road Series D-12E Acoustic-Electric Guitar with Gig Bag, Sitka Spruce and Sapele Construction, D-14 Fret and Performing Artist Neck Shape with High-Performance Taper

I'd originally sought a 10E, with the satin finish, but I couldn't find one in stock. For a little more, the 12E glossy finish is gorgeous. But the best is the sound. Resonant with deep bass and clear high notes. I love this instrument. It promises hours of enjoyment. Built in tuner is very convenient. Willcut Guitars was terrific; prompt, honest and responsive. Couldn't be happier with this purchase.

I'm disturbed by the lack of quality control. The guitar I received is unplayable, with the action set so close that the high E string does nothing but buzz. There's no way this should have left the factory. No one tested this guitar at all, and it was not properly setup. While trying to adjust it, I broke the G string -- not during the adjustment at all, but while I was tuning back to standard tuning using proper technique. I haven't popped a string in decades, especially not since I switched to nano/polyweb strings. Again, there's no way this should have left the factory. Can only imagine what kind of garbage strings they are putting on a $1300 guitar that they would break before the guitar has even been played. Save yourself the trouble and get a guitar from a manufacturer who cares like Taylor.

This guitar is awesome, especially for the price point. The playability is very smooth. The guitar with it's built intuner stays in tune very well. I would recommend this guitar to anyone that loves a Martin guitar at a very affordable price.

A huge upgrade from the beginner guitar that I was using. The D-12 will not disappoint with it's solid wood construction and Fishman MX-T electronics. You can play just about anything on this and it will sound good.

BEAUTIFUL. SOUNDS GREAT.
